Hourglass Readers to Offer Shaw's Devil's Disciple in Marlow
On Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009 at 2 PM in Jones Hall, The Hourglass Readers will offer a dramatic reading of George Bernard Shaw's play about the American Revolution, The Devil's Disciple, directed by Catherine Behrens. This presentation is being sponsored by the Marlow Historical Society and is free to the public. Peter Eisenstadter, a Marlow resident and winner of the 2005 New Hampshire Theater Best Actor award, will read the part of General Burgoyne. Don Wilmeth, a 2008 Best Actor award nominee, will be reading the main role of Richard Dudgeon. This is a bright comic play about the 1777 British invasion which culminated in the Battle of Saratoga, told with the wit and style that only George Bernard Shaw can deliver.
The Hourglass Readers have performed many readings in the Monadnock area in past years, to the enjoyment of their audiences. Some of their presentations have included plays by Shakespeare (e.g.-The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor), Shaw (Don Juan in Hell), Sheridan (School for Scandal), and Jonson (Volpone), to name a few. This is the first time that they will be appearing in Marlow. We hope many of you will come to see this first-ever Marlow performance by this talented group. |
